General Knowledge and Logical Reasoning
You want to buy a house in your local area with three bedrooms and a garage. However, youonly want to spend €150,000. Houses in your local area with three bedrooms and a garagenever sell for less than €200,000. You will have to spend more to get the house you want.
Which one of the following most closely matches the logical structure of the above argument?
You want a large powerful car that is fuel efficient. Large powerful cars are never fuelefficient, so you will have to spend more on fuel if you want a large powerful car.
You want to study mathematics but you don’t like numerical reasoning. Mathematics isessentially numerical reasoning, so you should choose a different subject.
You want either the green jacket or the blue jacket. The green jacket looks good and theblue jacket is a bargain, so there are advantages in buying either one.
You want a well-paid job with lots of holiday and the chance to retire early. Such jobs donot exist, so you need to adjust your expectations.
You want to buy the painting at the auction. Lots of other people want to buy it, so youhave to be prepared to bid a lot of money to be successful.
Competition between restaurants is fierce and restaurateurs are trying to gain recognition forthe quality of their food. Research from Oxford University might just give them that edge overtheir competitors. More than a hundred people participated in a series of experiments to see ifthe taste of food was affected by the cutlery used to eat it. The study found that desserts tastedbetter when eaten using small spoons. Similarly yoghurt tasted creamier when eaten with ablack spoon. Cheese cut with a heavy knife tasted more expensive than cheese cut with alighter knife.
Which one of the following is a conclusion that can be drawn from the above passage?
Restaurants should think carefully about what cutlery they use.
Customers pay attention to the cutlery they are using.
Variety of cutlery is more important than quality of food.
People choose restaurants only because of the quality of the food.
Restaurants should pay less attention to food presentation.

Food manufacturers should reduce sugar levels in processed foods. This is because there aretoo many overweight and obese people. Since people are unable or unwilling to make sensibledecisions for themselves, manufacturers must take responsibility for rectifying a problem towhich they contribute.
Which one of the following illustrates the principle used in the above argument?
To reduce the number of deaths caused by excessive speed, car manufacturers shouldincorporate speed limiters in vehicles.
In order to reduce sugar intake, foods with high sugar content should be taxed moreheavily.
Cigarette packets should have plain packaging and display government health warnings.
Labelling on food should be improved so that consumers are clear about the level ofsugar in a product.
Power tools should have clear instructions in order to reduce the number of accidentscaused by incorrect use.
Action has to be taken now to stop the spread of bovine tuberculosis (TB). Experts agree thatreducing the number of badgers in the most heavily infected areas will help to break the cycle ofinfection between badgers and cattle and begin to reduce TB in both species. Although badgerscan be vaccinated, there is no vaccine available to protect our cattle, and best estimatessuggest it will be ten years before one is available. The only way to stop bovine TB spreading isto kill badgers.
Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the above argument?
Five annual vaccinations are necessary to protect a badger fully against bovine TB.
Shooting large numbers of badgers is more expensive than vaccinating them.
In a trial, killing ten thousand badgers reduced the TB rate in cattle by only fifteen per cent.
When efforts are made to remove badgers, many are injured rather than killed outright.
Less than ten per cent of the dairy cows destroyed each year are destroyed because ofbovine TB.

Sperm whales have the largest brains on the planet, although both humans and dolphins havelarger brains relative to their body size. But why should relative brain size be important? If onethinks of a brain as a computer, there is no obvious reason why it must be sized in proportion tothe body it lives in. Why for example should a whale need an especially large brain, when ahummingbird – which has complex tasks to perform – manages with a tiny one?
Which one of the following is a conclusion that is supported by the above passage?
Brain size and the ability to perform complex tasks are not necessarily related.
Dolphins are more intelligent than whales.
Hummingbirds and whales have equally complex tasks to perform, despite hugedifference in brain size.
Whales need larger brains than either dolphins or humans because of their enormoussize.
There is no important difference between a brain and a computer.
Recent research in the USA has found that areas with more dentists per person have muchlower rates of obesity than neighbouring areas of similar population size. Clearly, public healthauthorities concerned with obesity rates should focus more resources on the provision of dentalcare. Dentists are a neglected asset in the struggle against the serious health problemsassociated with obesity.
Which one of the following is the best statement of the flaw in the above argument?
It assumes that a higher number of dentists causes lower obesity rates.
It assumes dental care in the USA is somewhat similar to that found elsewhere.
It ignores factors that might prevent public health authorities from spending more onobesity and related conditions.
It assumes that obesity rates should be a priority concern for public health authorities.
It ignores the fact that help and advice concerning obesity can be delivered in a variety ofways.

It's better for your children's health to give them a video game to play than to let them watchtelevision. Researchers at Queensland University examined the effects of video gaming andwatching television on children between the ages of two and five. They found that the childrenburned more calories when they were gaming than when they were watching television; higherblood pressure was associated with watching television, but not with video gaming. Thescientists believe that the difference comes from two distinct kinds of screen time: passivescreen time, where you are simply viewing programmes or films, and active screen time, whereyou are engaging both your mind and your body.
Which one of the following is the main conclusion of the above argument?
Video gaming is better for children’s health than watching television.
Children burn more calories when they play video games than when they watchtelevision.
Playing video games helps to reduce children's blood pressure.
Video gaming engages both the mind and the body.
Watching television does not stimulate children’s minds.
‘Internet addiction’ is about to be classified as a recognised psychiatric disorder. Internetaddiction is characterised by a number of signs: excessive use of the internet; anger ordepression if access is lost; isolation from friends and family; and, most significantly, pooreducational achievement. This should make us cautious about incorporating computer-basedlearning into all aspects of education. Educationalists should consider the long-term problemsassociated with extensive internet use as well as its immediate attractions.
Which one of the following is an assumption of the above argument?
All computer-based learning includes internet use.
Students are unable to regulate their internet use.
Excessive internet use is the only cause of poor educational achievement.
Classifiying internet addiction as a recognised psychiatric disorder will help lead to a cure.
It is a bad idea to incorporate computer-based learning into education.

One of the populations with the highest life expectancy is Iceland. The people there are veryhealthy, as indicated by the low incidence of diabetes, obesity, heart disease and diet relatedcancers. Their diet is rich in good quality local fish, and meat and dairy products from grass fedanimals. The fish and meat is all caught, produced and processed on a small scale. If we wantto live long and healthy lives we should adopt the Icelanders’ diet.
Which one of the following is the best statement of the flaw in the above argument?
There may be other reasons for the Icelanders’ health and longevity.
Vegetarians may not be able to live on an Icelandic diet.
There may be insufficient space in many countries to raise grass fed animals.
The Icelandic diet may be prohibitively expensive elsewhere.
People may not like being told what they should eat.
A leaking undersea oil well in the USA caused massive damage to wildlife and was extremelyexpensive to clear up. Worst of all, it destroyed the livelihoods of poor people living in the area.Despite this, in the developed world we still don’t take seriously the risks of deepwater drilling.Until we can be satisfied that regulation is effective and that oil companies are operating safely,deepwater drilling should be banned.
Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the above argument?
A ban on deepwater drilling would cause oil prices to rise, which would affect poor peoplemost.
The risks of deepwater drilling were known prior to the accident in the USA.
Oil companies involved in the accident in the USA paid money to compensate the victims.
Alternatives to fossil fuels may eventually be able to meet our energy needs.
Oil companies will operate more safely in future than they did before the accident in theUSA.

Mr and Mrs Massa’s rectangular lawn measures 10 metres by 6 metres. They pay Giovanni tocut the grass and trim the edges. Giovanni charges a fixed rate per square metre of grass to becut and another fixed rate per metre of edge to be trimmed. For Mr and Mrs Massa’s lawn, thisresults in a charge of $12 to cut the grass and $8 to trim the edges.
Now, Mr and Mrs Costa next door want Giovanni to do the same for them. Their lawn is alsorectangular and measures 15 metres by 9 metres.
If he charges them at the same rate as the Massas, how much will Giovanni charge Mr and MrsCosta, in total, for cutting their grass and trimming their edges?
